Duntroon School was established in 1879. The school is recognised as being of historical significance in our community. It is situated in a small township bounded by State Highway 83, Livingstone Street and the Maerewhenua River. The majority of children are transported to school by three bus runs from a wide catchment area. The catchment of the school is Campbell Park to the West, Blackpoint to the East and Danseys’ Pass to the South.
We provide stimulating and engaging learning opportunities for students from Year 0 to 8, supported by a dedicated and collaborative team of educators. Our thriving rural school is well supported by the Board of Trustees and the local community.
Our work is underpinned by the four core values of Honesty, Respect, Perseverance, Co-operation and Inclusion which sit within our vision: ‘The BEST we can be’ Ko te pai e taea e tatou!
B - Believe in myself, E - Empowered to learn, S - Socially Responsible, T - Thinkers and Learners for life.
We invite you to come and see for yourself what makes our kura so special. We warmly welcome whānau and community members to visit us, meet our passionate staff, and experience the unique spirit of our rural school in the Waitaki Valley.

NIBBLE NATTER & KNIT Club is starting at Duntroon School
Sheryl has kindly offered to come to school and take a lunchtime group and teach them how to Knit and Crochet.
There is a strong interest - we have offered it to yr 5 - yr 8.
If you have any size 4 - 5 knitting needles you would like to lend or donate and spare 8 ply wool, it would be gratefully received. Please pop into the school Office. Sheryl is going to start this Friday.
Best of luck as the new season begins. Be at the turf early to warm up as to coaches/managers instruction on this. Remember your hockey stick, mouthguard, shin pads, a water bottle and warm layers for before and after your game. Have a fantastic season.
Please return your pool key to the Office.
Good morning Eastern Bus Run families
Starting in T2 the Eastern Bus run will go left, down Eastern Road, onto Special School Road then loop around Doctors Creek Road and come back out to head back to school via the main road. Sheryl has spoken to any families whose pick up/drop off times will be affected. For many of you this extra loop will make no difference to your circumstances.
Please contact me (0274349068) if you have any questions.
